It has always been our policy (see the posting policy) that tickets should not be sold for profit.

And it’s illegal in Alabama to sell above original value without a license.

Section 40-12-167
Ticket scalpers.

Any person offering for sale or selling tickets at a price greater than the original price and who is commonly known as a ticket scalper shall pay a license tax of $100.
(Acts 1935, No. 194, p. 256; Code 1940, T. 51, §602.)
